What is your dietary choice - if other put in comment

Omletes

These are some high protein omletes I meal prepped for my daughters breakfast for the week. I got so excited because I didnt break any of them this time. 🤣

Anyone had to go onto a dairy free diet?

Any tips? Do you take calcium supplements?

If you have any healthier lower calorie high protein meal suggestions please lmk! I run 2-3miles most days but I’m trying to stay within a calorie deficit. If you have any ideas please feel free to share them.

Recommendations for muscle seperation

Can someone give me some really good tips or recommendations that actually worked. Muscle seperation has really affected my eating enjoyment and caused some digestion problems aside from the hideous look as well.

Plz share conspiracy theories

Ok just for fun I love following “conspiracy theories” cuz let’s face it the world is crazy always has been always will be. Any how .. I keep hearing about a food shortage , ag workers are worried .. I have this theory that the recent ozempic trends are intentional. so the public sees and wants to follow the celebs and get skinny like ariana grande, the stores are marketing protein everything and now fiber everything adding to the weight loss trends not to mention getting the public used to MRE foods, so when the shortage hits the news , the public won’t panic since they have already been used to being malnourished

Protein

I’m trying to lose 10 pounds eating in a calorie deficit. I found that eating protein curbs my sugar cravings and want to incorporate protein in my breakfast. I usually have a toast with butter and jam and cup of coffee ~250 calories. Any recipe ideas that would incorporate protein that doesn’t involve me eating salty in the morning that isn’t too calorie dense? Any egg based (sweet) quick meals I can make?

Food Journal

I’ve been eating unhealthy (sweets and fast food and a lot) for a month and a half now. I’ve gained a lot of weight — people are like you’re pregnant it’s okay — but I know my habits will be here after baby is here. I need to switch things up — so I’m commuting to log everything I eat during the day in the comments below. This way I can see and consciously start adjusting my ways for my and my family’s health benefits. Feel free to log what you eat too if it’s something you would find beneficial 🫶

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Wheat free milk ladder

Does anybody have a tried and tested wheat free milk ladder? A biscuit as the first thing is going to be a no go for now 🤦🏼‍♀️ Ive asked our health visitor but not had a response, and we dont have a dietician.

advice about mix feeds

How you doing it

Protein powder

Any recommendations on protein powder that doesn’t taste gross but has clean ingredients?

7w5d and CAN’T EAT

This is mostly just a vent. I’m 10 pounds down, and the only thing I have an appetite for is fried seafood. The problem? I’m landlocked in Colorado and vegan. Fml

Does protein shakes upset anyone's stomach?

I've tried some protein coffee and protein shake and usually my stomach is a bit upset after. Do I just need to get used to it or should I try powder?

Does anyone have any tips for a low carb diet?

I usually have toast in the morning and now I don’t know what else to make myself for breakfast that isn’t carbs…aside from an omelette/eggs in general.

Althéra experiences

Is anyone on Althéra, if so what’s your experience on it? My little one completely refused Aptamil Pepti 1 so the dietitian put him back onto Kendmail & his symptoms are still persisting. So we are now trying Althéra. Quite nervous his feeds are going to drastically drop again as we ended up in hospital last time.
